Mind-Body Strategies for Hypermobility and Chronic Pain

Published by HypermobileYogi

This 4 class/seminar series on Mind-Body Strategies for hypermobility and chronic pain, and is a collaboration between EDS Wellness and Dr. Deborah Norris with The Mindfulness Center in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of this series of 4 classes is based on two principles: 1. Part of the RYS 200 Yoga Instructor Training Program is a Seva requirement. Seva is a series of 4 yoga classes taught by a particular community – free of charge. It’s the community service requirement of the RYS 200 certification. Of course, I picked the hypermobility/EDS community to teach classes to. 2. One of the projects that I’ve been working on for EDS Wellness is a mindfulness for hypermobility program with Dr. Francomano, based on her experience with a study that she conducted years ago. Originally, the Seva component of my yoga instructor training and the project with Dr. Francomano under EDS Wellness were not one in the same. However, as time went on and because of Dr. Norris’ and The Mindfulness Center’s support of Wellapalooza and the work that I …

51 Tips for Parents of Children Newly Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)

Published by HypermobileYogi

Horraay! I cannot explain how excited I am to finally be able to share this awesome project with everyone! For EDS Awareness month we will be giving you a sneak peek each day from our upcoming e-book ’51 Tips for Parents of Children Newly Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)’ – coming soon for EDS Awareness Month!

What first started out as a joint blog post about parenting and having kids with EDS, turned into a 6 month-long project that Sarah Wells (from My Stripy Life) and I have been working on off and on, waiting for the right time to finish and release it. As we continued to work on it, we kept finding more and more to add, and even more information and resources that we wanted to make sure were included in our post – which then turned our joint blog post into a full resource e-book.

The real, no holds barred advice that we wish we knew and we hadn’t had to figure out for ourselves, the stuff that the medical books don’t always tell you!

Stay tuned for more top tips each day and information about how to get a copy of “51 Tips for Parents of Children Newly Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS)’ delivered straight to your inbox!

Cheers!
